L'Oreal Professionnel X-tenso Care Straight Serum

I got my hair smoothened last
December and I am enjoying it. I was confused over getting it done and even
had second thoughts after paying the stylist half of the amount as pre booking
fees.

Anyways I got it done finally and I want
to share few insights about it before moving on with the review.

1. If you have extremely dry and
brittle hair, please don’t try any permanent treatments.

2. Make sure your hair is in a healthy
state before getting any chemical treatments done so that it copes better.

3. Make sure you use ONLY the products
they suggest and yes those professional and salon products will be quite costly than the normal ones.

4. Maintain your hair by getting hair spa done once in a month.

5. Chemically treated hair will be dryer especially towards the ends leading to hair “breakage”. If you are not maintaining them well, you might start facing more hair breakage than hair loss. So
make sure you use the hair pack/conditioner they suggest without fail.

With proper care, you will not face
any excessive hair fall and will be able to maintain your hair well.

The stylist used L’Oreal for my
smoothening session and I was asked to use the L’Oreal xtenso range comprising
of a shampoo, mask and a serum. I have been using this for the past two months
and I really like the effect. Today I will be reviewing the serum for you
girls.

About:

L'Oréal
Professionnel X-tenso Care Straight Serum is an intense nutri-reconstructor
shine serum and it is for straigthened hair

Comes packed in a cute little opaque
white bottlewith a pump dispenser. You can turn the head of the dispenser to
lock it. Travel friendly.

Product Texture & Fragrance:

It is atransparent runny liquidwith
mild floral fragrance.

My experience:

After my smoothening session, my hair
did get a little dry and maintaining the shine and bounce was a task. This
product tackles all my hair needs. It felt light, non-greasy so I need not
worry about my smoothened hair falling flat. It separates the strands very well
making it easy for me to comb or brush my hair without causing much damage. It
smells really nice but not over powering.

It adds anice and healthy shine to my
hair whilst retaining the bounce. It keeps myhair frizz freefor a long time.

We all know that no product can cure split ends. We need to get rid of them. This product does not cure split ends but with regular usage, as the ends of hair does not get overly dry, the formation of split ends are reduced.

The only con which I felt are, it
makes the scalp greasy in two days.

If you have chemically treated hair, this would be a great product to try. Totally worth the price!
